Substantial open-plan and modern style free house set well back from road with tiled floors and decorated with photos and artefacts mainly related to a former WW2 airbase (Rougham) that is located nearby. Food is available all week (including a popular roast on Sundays) and two pleasant conservatories overlook the garden and provide excellent views of the surrounding area. The original building was much extended about 20 years ago. In recent years the pub has become increasingly encroached by new housing as the suburbs of Bury St Edmunds continue to expand.

All information is presented here in good faith and believed to be correct at the time of writing.
The addresses of old pubs (numbers and sometimes even street names) may not always coincide with the building's current address (if it's still standing), as street names sometimes change, as do numbering schemes
